It's like low stakes Battlestar Galactica. Any one of us could be a chatbot! Not me though, I swear I'm a real human, really, don't even worry about it...

Sorry about that but I think it's called Censorship in many circles.

While there was nothing that most would have any objection to, the thought of a woman having conversations with an online "Friend" only to eventually find out that it was actually a chatbot! This certainly speaks well for both the chatbot and its creator!

Ohhh...the embarrassment of it all!! 

How does anyone know who anyone really is online?

Today I heard a video state that 21 % of young, online teenaged girls are actually FBI agents posing as them. Wow...what a gig!
